quicklisp-slime-helper makes it easy to use SLIME from Quicklisp.
To use it, load quicklisp in your Common Lisp implementation, then
evaluate:
(ql:quickload "quicklisp-slime-helper")
That command will create a file in the Quicklisp base directory called
"slime-helper.el". Loading that file will add the Quicklisp slime path
to your Emacs load-path.
In your ~/.emacs, you could have something like this:
(load (expand-file-name "~/quicklisp/slime-helper.el"))
(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")
